Dear Room 22
As you know I surprised Avadee with a trip to Niue.
We visited the NZ high commission and dropped off some microchips to the police, as well as taking over some medical supplies. We did some vaccinations and health checks and treated two dogs that had been gored by a wild pig.
But we also found some great time for snorkelling, eating and hiking!
The Togo Chasm (pronounced Tongo) was a real highlight. You hike through about 20 minutes of bush, then out onto a clifftop track that is concreted into the large rock formations, a very narrow path that winds down to a little cove at the bottom. But just as you reach the bottom you arrive at a huge ladder, about 3 storeys high. Avadee scaled it like a monkey.
We snorkelled a lot, saw heaps of lovely marine life, including snakes.
Ate at some of the great restaurants (Niue boasts one of the top Japanese restaurants in the world).
Enjoyed great coke floats!
Bought some native jewellery.
And caught up with lots of great friends I have made on the island (most people know who I am now - there is only 1400 of them on the island (but 25,000 in NZ!).
I look forward to our next clinic there in April next year.
Kind regards, Sasha
